Government technology services firm EXPANSIA said developing and implementing an enterprise data strategy could help organizations address data sprawl-related issues, including data retrieval challenges and conflicting data, and facilitate the collection and protection of high-quality data needed to gain valuable insights for improved decision-making.
In a thought leadership piece published Friday, EXPANSIA said the company’s approach to enterprise data strategy development encompasses four components: data governance, infrastructure, analytics and security.
Delivering a Digital Thread
According to the service-disabled veteran-owned small business, the four aforementioned components are key to delivering a digital thread, which links stakeholders, processes and systems to enable data-driven decision-making.
EXPANSIA stated that an effective digital thread relies on data quality and the clarity of the data ontology, or the relationships and attributes of the data within a knowledge domain.
Enabling Predictive Analytics
To enable predictive analytics, the company said its team of data professionals is working with clients to glean insights from data using artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.
EXPANSIA also noted its use of generative AI and retrieval-augmented generation techniques to help customers gain analytic insights from data.
Demonstrating Data Strategy Development Approach Through AGORA
The company said it is exhibiting its approach to enterprise data strategy development and digital thread implementation through AGORA, or Always Guaranteeing Operationally Ready Aircraft.
Built in partnership with the U.S. Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office, AGORA is a collaborative platform designed to accelerate the adoption of advanced manufacturing.
The platform is an integrated digital environment of digital materiel management, or DMM, applications designed to address supply chain challenges facing the Air Force. It provides a digital thread for technical data packages to facilitate the rapid printing of aircraft parts to improve aircraft operational readiness.
